Metro is looking for riders with disabilities and senior citizens interested in joining the Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC). The AAC consists of 20 volunteers committed to helping Metro enhance the travel experience of people with disabilities and senior citizens on Metrobus, Metrorail, and MetroAccess.

Six members of the AAC represent Maryland, six represent Virginia, six represent the District of Columbia, and two members serve at-large. The two vacant positions are for the residents of the Arlington County, Fairfax County, Loudoun County, City of Alexandria, City of Falls Church, or Fairfax City.

To qualify, prospective members must be riders of Metrobus, Metrorail, and/or MetroAccess. Members of the AAC cannot be Metro employees, contractors, or elected officials. All AAC positions are unpaid volunteer positions.

Metro's Board of Directors will make the final selection of the new members from a collection of candidates who represent a cross-section of customers with disabilities and/or senior citizens and reflect a broad representation of people from different geographical locations in Metro's service area. The appointed members are required to attend the full committee and a subcommittee meeting each month. The interested candidates are highly encouraged to attend the virtual AAC meetings prior to joining the Committee.

Interested candidates may download the online fillable/printable AAC membership application, or call Office of ADA Policy and Planning, Systemwide Accessibility, at 202-962-1100 to request an application form.

Metro is accepting online applications. Completed applications may be emailed to MetroAACChair@wmata.com, or mailed to the WMATA Accessibility Advisory Committee at 4100 Garden City Drive, 603-01-C, Hyattsville, MD 20785. The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. Friday, June 28th, 2024.
